Cheryl – I agree that one of the biggest challenges is stepping into the dysregulation and letting it happen. It can definitely feel like a lack of control and bring up all kinds of “shoulds’ for us.
Cheryl and Kelsey you both talked about the challenges of finding time to regulate. It’s so hard! The more we develop our own interoceptive awareness and let that guide us to understanding what clues our body is giving us about the kind of regulation we need, the easier this gets. And, it takes time!
